Manufacturer Narrative

The suspect medical device has not yet been returned to olympus for evaluation/investigation.Therefore, the exact cause of the patient's outcome and the reported phenomenon could not be determined and is being judged as unknown.However, if the suspect medical device is returned for evaluation/investigation or additional significant information becomes available, this report will be updated.

Event Description

Olympus was informed that during a therapeutic transurethral vaporization of the prostate in saline (turisv) procedure, the patient's lower abdomen was found to be firm and a change in vital signs was observed.This was suspected to have been caused by an accumulation of saline in the lower abdomen caused by a perforation in the urinary tract that occurred during the turisv procedure allowing saline to enter the peritoneal cavity, which however has not been confirmed so far.The intended procedure was completed using the same set of equipment and there was no report of a malfunction of any of the olympus devices used.

Manufacturer Narrative

The suspect medical device was not returned to the manufacturer for investigation/evaluation since it was reportedly discarded by the user facility.Therefore, the evaluation/investigation was performed exclusively on the basis of the available information.There were no reports of any malfunction of the hf electrode or any of the medical devices used.It is therefore assumed that the hf electrode was in standard at the relevant time.A material or quality problem can be excluded since a manufacturing and quality control review was performed for the affected lot number of the hf resection electrode without showing any abnormalities.The case will be closed on olympus side with no further actions.However, the reported phenomenon will be recorded for trending and surveillance purposes and the user will be informed about the investigation results.
